Using same browser session in different cases

In the below code am trying to use the same browser session in different test cases, but after running its observed that two different browser sessions are opened for each test case. Please guide me to fix this issue:

driver1 = webdriver.Chrome(
            executable_path="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\chromedriver.exe")

class Test_Trials(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_1(self):
        driver1.set_page_load_timeout(20)
        driver1.get("http://192.168.221.238:8180/tnp/")
        driver1.maximize_window()

    def test_2(self):
        driver1.find_element_by_id("j_username").send_keys("admin")
        driver1.find_element_by_name("j_password").send_keys("admin1001")
        driver1.find_element_by_class_name("gwt-Button").click()
        driver1.set_page_load_timeout(20)

Try declaring and initializing driver1 inside the class. Alternatively, only declare it inside the class (initialize with None), and initialize it in the setupClass method like this:

@classmethod
def setUpClass(cls):
    driver1 = webdriver.Chrome(
        executable_path="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\chromedriver.exe")

Try to use pytest with module setup, initilazing your driver before class execution:

class Test_Trials(unittest.TestCase):

  def setup_module(module):
      driver1 = webdriver.Chrome(
          executable_path="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\chromedriver.exe")

Or class method:

 @classmethod
 def setup_class(cls):
      driver1 = webdriver.Chrome(
          executable_path="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\chromedriver.exe")
